????這些事例體現(xiàn)了專業(yè)化的一大缺陷,。我并不是說專業(yè)化本身有問題,。在許多工作和領(lǐng)域中（外科、科學(xué)研究等）,，專業(yè)化是成功的關(guān)鍵,。但在應(yīng)對(duì)不確定性和預(yù)測(cè)可能出現(xiàn)的情況方面，我更愿意讓多面手來負(fù)責(zé)——這類人的經(jīng)驗(yàn)多種多樣,，足以緩解上文中提到的“自認(rèn)為手拿錘子”所引發(fā)的問題,。

????對(duì)企業(yè)中各個(gè)層次的管理者來說，以上事例的一個(gè)明確含義就是要尊重和珍視那些看似不相關(guān)的經(jīng)驗(yàn),。不要把應(yīng)聘財(cái)務(wù)職位的營(yíng)銷事務(wù)管理人員拒之門外,，也不要認(rèn)為零售公司負(fù)責(zé)人不能經(jīng)營(yíng)建筑公司。培養(yǎng)未來負(fù)責(zé)人時(shí),，現(xiàn)任領(lǐng)導(dǎo)應(yīng)當(dāng)鼓勵(lì)他們擁有多種多樣的經(jīng)驗(yàn),，而不是局限于某個(gè)專業(yè)領(lǐng)域。

????These stories illustrate a major downside of specialization. I don’t mean to suggest that specialization unto itself is bad; in many functions and domains (surgery, scientific research, etc …), it is essential to success. But when it comes to navigating uncertainty and contemplating probabilistic scenarios, I’d rather have a generalist in charge—someone who has a breadth of experience diverse enough to mitigate the problematic hammer-carrying default setting.

????One obvious implication for managers at all levels of an organization is to respect and value seemingly unrelated experiences. Don’t dismiss the marketing executive applying for a finance position or the retail leader who thinks she can run a construction firm. And in grooming future leaders, current leaders should encourage a diversity of experience rather than narrow specialization.
